During Monday’s edition of NewsOne Now, Florida Congresswoman Corrine Brown spoke with Roland Martin about the horrific shooting and the ongoing battle to pass gun-control legislation in the United States.

Rep. Brown told Martin one year after the Mother Emanuel AME church massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, and now only a week after the Orlando mass shooting, “Congress needs to do more than have moments of silent prayer.”

She said lawmakers cannot continue to have “one minute of silence and do nothing.”

The United States Senate is scheduled to vote on gun-control legislation on Monday, but the NRA has raised its head in opposition of the vote. The NRA’s chief lobbyist Chris Cox said during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, that lawmakers who support gun legislation will have “a price to pay for it.”

Rep. Brown pushed back against the National Rifle Association’s threat: “We have a job — it’s not any group that should dominate Congress, we represent the people.”

Brown later called Mateen and other mass shooters “homegrown terrorists.” She also said, “If we were being attacked from abroad, we would do what we need to do” to address the threat.
